Britomart is a vibrant
nine-block precinct at the
centre of waterfront Auckland.

Britomart

Britomart is a place where past and future collide, where renovated dockside warehouses jostle up to sleek new architecture, where gritty brick laneways full of lively bars give way to plant-filled streets and a sunny square lined with world-leading restaurants and chic boutiques. Britomart – home to the headquarters of Westpac, EY, innovative co-working space Generator and a host of other market-leading businesses, and located right above the city’s busiest public transport hub – is the crossroads where Auckland sees the best of itself: clever, creative, rich in history and full of promise.

Britomart Group Cooper and Company

Cooper and Company is a private investment company with offices in Auckland, California and Texas. Founded in 1989 by New Zealander Peter Cooper, Cooper and Company invests in, manages and develops assets on a long-term basis in two main areas: real estate and private equity, with a focus on financial services and energy solutions.

In 2002 the Britomart development contract was put up for tender by Auckland City Council. After a highly competitive international bid process, the Britomart contract was awarded to the Bluewater Consortium in 2004. In 2006 Bluewater Management Company bought out its partners in the Consortium and in April 2008 changed its name to Cooper and Company.

Day to day property, facilities and precinct management of Britomart and the Britomart Carpark is provided by Britomart Group Management Company, with Cooper and Company having responsibility for strategic asset management, including property development.

Besides Britomart, Cooper and Company’s real estate activities include the Bay of Islands heritage and conservation property The Landing (and luxury private accommodation at The Landing Residences) and master-planned Texas town centre Southlake Town Square.

History

Britomart is a site rich in history. The mana whenua of the area are the Ngāti Whātua people; it was their chief, Apihai Te Kawau, who gifted 3000 acres of the area to Governor Hobson for the construction of a new capital city after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Art at Britomart

Britomart is home to some bold and evocative public artworks, as well as an ever-changing array of temporary exhibitions that enrich the neighbourhood's lively sense of place.
